It’s Christmas Day.
It’s some ridiculous time in the morning, Santa’s been and gone.
Except he hasn’t because I’m not done wrapping, or tidying up, or preparing the emails dad wants to send when he gets back from work with certain family members singing.
Anyway, as I was getting the files ready for ‘publication’ I had a listen to a song I recorded at my brother’s house many moons ago (September 2003 to be precise), and written at some point in the first half of that year while I was at Uni. It was a struggle to write it and it’s been a struggle to write anything else since!
Anyway, I can never really make up my mind as to whether I actually like it or not. There’s some good bits but then there’s the fact that my voice sounds like some bad Will Young impersonator with a cold in the morning. Or something like that.
But yeah, have a listen. Incidentally, I perform guitar and vocals. Drums and Bass were programmed by my brother.
Trying out the new ID metasystem 22 December, 2006

With the release of .NET 3.0, I was able to test drive InfoCard (now known as CardSpace). I actually had some problems with it due to some bizarre configurations on my machine (somehow I was no longer the owner of my user profile folders), but now that it’s up and running I can say I’m still excited about the whole concept. Still early days, but the process is seamless enough. The proof of the pudding will be when people start using it in anger. As yet, only a couple of ID related blogs support cardspace, so we’ll see how it goes when the amazons and banks of the world get in on it.
An unexplained absence 22 December, 2006

And no, I’m not going to explain it either. It’s my blog and I can vanish if I want to! 
More seriously, I’ve found it difficult to motivate myself to say anything recently. It’s mostly because there are things that I really want to say, but I know that the consequences of saying them would be far worse than not saying them. Some things really are best left unsaid.
On a blog anyway.
That said, I am going to try to be a bit more chatty.
